Two long cylindrical tubes of the same length but different diameters lie parallel to each other on a flat surface. The larger tube has radius $72$ and rolls along the surface toward the smaller tube, which has radius $24$. It rolls over the smaller tube and continues rolling along the flat surface until it comes to rest on the same point of its circumference as it started, having made one complete revolution. If the smaller tube never moves, and the rolling occurs with no slipping, the larger tube ends up a distance $x$ from where it starts. The distance $x$ can be expressed in the form $a\pi+b\sqrt{c},$ where $a,$ $b,$ and $c$ are integers and $c$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $a+b+c.$

$M$ is a finite set of points in a plane. Point $O$ in the plane is called an “almost centre of symmetry” of set $M$ if it is possible to remove from $M$ one point in such a way that among the remaining members $O$ is the centre of symmetry in the usual sense. How many such “almost centres of symmetry” may a finite point set in a plane have? Indicate all such points. (V Prasolov, Moscow)

Circle $\omega$ with centre $M$ and diameter $XY$ is given. Point $A$ is chosen on $\omega$ so that $AX<AY$. Points $B, C$ are chosen on segments $XM, YM$, respectively, in a way that $BM=CM$. A parallel line to $AB$ is constructed through $C$; the line intersects $\omega$ at $P$ so that $P$ lies on the smaller arc $\widehat{AY}$. Similarly, a parallel line to $AC$ is constructed through $B$; the line intersects $\omega$ at $Q$ so that $Q$ lies on the smaller arc $\widehat{XA}$. Lines $PQ$ and $XY$ intersect at $S$. Prove that $AS$ is tangent to $\omega$.

In the Cartesian plane, let $G_1$ and $G_2$ be the graphs of the quadratic functions $f_1(x) = p_1x^2 + q_1x + r_1$ and $f_2(x) = p_2x^2 + q_2x + r_2$, where $p_1 > 0 > p_2$.

Let $ABC$ be a right angled triangle with $\angle A = 90^o$ and $AD$ its altitude. We draw parallel lines from $D$ to the vertical sides of the triangle and we call $E, Z$ their points of intersection with $AB$ and $AC$ respectively. The parallel line from $C$ to $EZ$ intersects the line $AB$ at the point $N$. Let $A' $ be the symmetric of $A$ with respect to the line $EZ$ and $I, K$ the projections of $A'$ onto $AB$ and $AC$ respectively. If $T$ is the point of intersection of the lines $IK$ and $DE$, prove that $\angle NA'T = \angle ADT$.
